Reviews of OEM Volkswagen fuel pump

No it will NOT work with the current pump....the R32 pump will burn out as the fuel pump controller pulses the pump which burns out the brushes.

Love the car, but have just had the fuel pump replaced, driver-side window leak fixed, and a slight metallic rubbing sound related to the brakes(which the techs can't find yet.)

One thing I've noticed with worn fuel pumps is they will still physically operate, but they won't put out the 70psi they're supposed to put out, or their flowrate decreases. In the case of my R32's pump, the flowrate and pressure were significantly decreased, and the load on the circuit was increased. Lots of resistance, overloaded the relay.

my car had a similar problem, mk2, but still a vw. turns out the relay works killer, my problem was a combination of the main pump going bad and some very very bad corosion in the fuse box.
